Well, it's good to see people from the thread go down to their local climate-strike.
I felt tempted my self to ebike up and have a look-see but I was feeling remarkably tired that day, stayed up too late the night before.
While I am not insulating this point of view on anyone here, and while we have gone of this topic before, I like to re-point it out any time I can, that is the problem I see in people who hold up anti-capitalism/pro-socialist signs is that there is a fair amount of proof that socialism ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism ) isn't even a well-meaning ideology but a deliberate trojan horse used by the worse people known in history to simply grab power through its seductive ideas and like a lot of new regimes end up facilitating a process of killing an incredible amount of people as the only way to solve the regime's problems. https://youtu.be/vIeFt88Hm8s?t=6378
That Guardian article is interesting and I do have a Vaclav book that I am going to read.
I like how it points out that Japan still has capitalism but no mass-immigration and ultimately they have done fine, the stockmarket hasn't gone up etc but the quality of peoples lives is still good.
Shouldn't have to point out that without mass immigration all major western country population/cities would shrink and become more normal, property would cost less and the cost of living would be significantly cheaper and peoples lives and living standards would be better, but the people at the very top wouldn't be as wealthy, and that's the problem they do not like, as Akkad discussed here https://youtu.be/O5k7WdnuXrI?t=2943
Carl Tucker went on a rant about Japan about how nice it is with no filth etc at the train-stations

^This video was all over YouTubers who talk about the uglier sides of the conversation a few months ago, but can't find them now, probably have been deleted by YouTube as (unprofitable) hate speech.
People who hold up pro-socialism signs prove that they get their knowledge of the world from movies, while most movies have traditionally demonized Hitler quiet effectively they ignore more complex stories that have killed more people like Stalin.
The easy absorbability of history/people should not be the determining factor of who or what is most evil, but for most people it is.

This is why I like Dr Duke's point of view that socialism has caused the death of so many people that it is worthy of what could be considered conspiracy theories of why socialism exists https://www.bitchute.com/video/Exu6KyZGU3am/

Was a little while ago there was a lithium battery electric aircraft crash, and to me every time I see the news on how great lithium-battery aircraft is etc I think about the limitations of lifecycles on lithium like how quadcopters beat the crap out of batteries because they require heavy discharge and the batteries get warm.

Lithium Electric aircraft is only used for flight training to take off and land because of the short flight time, but its also obvious that the cells get the crap beaten out of them, thus the total life-cycles are very short.
I don't need to wait until the investigation of the accident is done to know it was the limitations of beating the crap out of lithium cells that caused the failure.
So like the remarkable achievements of Hydrogen fuel-cell drones https://fuelcellsworks.com/news/mmc-uav-hydrogen-drone-breaks-new-record-for-flight-time/ we now are seeing it follow up in full-size aircraft.

When using non-battery methods of transport like fuels, the more you use up of your fuel the lighter you are thus the further you can go as you run out of fuel, this is the very opposite of what happens with lithium-battery as your fuel-source.

And they are showing it off in the form of everything being done via renewables dream vision.
Compared to new "battery news" the amount of new exciting news in Fuel-Cell is extreme, it makes lithium battery news look as exciting as "diesel fuel" news.
